As soon as the big thunder came and she threw the cat I was, oh oh...what happened to the cat...that is going to come back somehow in the story. It ended up making for a great "symbolic" ending.

I enjoyed the closure this story gave me. Nigel was gone...she was a free woman to go or stay and be with Eddie. There would be no guilt for her physical encounter with Eddie or guilt over her mental "guilty" pleasures of him. That is also the great thing about "one shots"...any other story that comes along can begin at any time line. Nothing has to continue from here...a new story can go right back to them fighting.

Thank you so much for this great, descriptive story. You make the characters so real.
